Chapter 620 There is a celebration banquet tonightSong Jiaojiao was arranged by Xu Xinghe to live in a palace. Except for handling matters, Xu Xinghe would stay in the palace to accompany her all the time. For this reason, Song Jiaojiao had not communicated with Xu Xinghe for as long as she had been back to the Rebirth Continent.
The maidservant who was serving them also noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and she served them very carefully.
Half a month after Song Jiaojiao returned to the Continent of Rebirth, traces of demons were discovered in a secret realm in the northwest. Xu Xinghe, the head of the immortals, led people to investigate the secret realm, while Song Jiaojiao was left in the palace. Because of this, the serving maids became much negligent. Song Jiaojiao even heard two maids talking about her, Xu Xinghe and Yue Cheng's love history.
At that time, Song Jiaojiao was thirsty and had been calling for a long time, but no one came to serve her. She had no choice but to get up and find some water by herself, but she heard two maids who were on night watch talking outside the hall.
One of the maids complained, "I really don't know what Xing Jiao Xianzun was thinking. He didn't want to marry Yue Cheng Xianzun, who was so gentle and dignified, and chose to divorce and be with such a woman who was not presentable enough."
Another maidservant complained and echoed, "That's right, I heard from people in the palace of Immortal Master Yue Cheng that since the divorce, Immortal Master Yue Cheng has been crying almost every day and looks very sad."
"If you ask me, it is Immortal Venerable Yue Cheng who is worthy of our Immortal Venerable. Moreover, Immortal Venerable Yue Cheng is not only gentle, but also kind to us servants. If you ask me, it must be that woman inside who seduced the Immortal Venerable. Otherwise, why would the Immortal Venerable not want Immortal Venerable Yue Cheng and choose such a woman..."

The heavy hollow wooden door behind them opened, and Song Jiaojiao, wearing a white dress and with disheveled hair, appeared behind them like a female ghost.
The two maids were startled when they heard the sound of the door opening. They stood up from the ground and turned to face Song Jiaojiao, lowering their eyebrows and looking submissive. The maid who blamed and agreed said in a somewhat awkward and flattering way, "Aunt, Miss, you're awake."
Song Jiaojiao didn't reply, but just handed over the teapot in her hand: "There's no water."
The maidservant who was complaining and agreeing quickly took it over: "I will go get some water right away."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Only Song Jiaojiao and the maid who said Xu Xinghe and Yue Cheng were a good match were left at the scene. Song Jiaojiao did not move, and the maid was also terrified and did not move. Perhaps because the atmosphere was too quiet, the maid finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Miss, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Song Jiaojiao said nothing and lowered her head.
Only when the maid came back with water did Song Jiaojiao take the kettle, close the door and go into the house.
The two maids looked at each other and finally stopped talking about what happened between Yue Cheng and Xu Xinghe.
The days passed by like this, and soon, seven days passed. Xu Xinghe came back exhausted, but he did not go to the celebration banquet at the first time. Instead, he turned around and went to where Song Jiaojiao lived. He asked the maid about Song Jiaojiao's sleep and food, and also asked about Song Jiaojiao's physical condition with concern. The maid answered everything in detail.
After sending away the maid, Xu Xinghe carefully stepped into Song Jiaojiao's residence. The person he was familiar with and missed was sitting beside the dressing table, motionless, looking like an emotionless wooden stake.
Xu Xinghe came behind Song Jiaojiao, hugged her from behind, and said, "Jiaojiao, I missed you so much during this period."
Song Jiaojiao didn't say anything, so Xu Xinghe said, "Jiaojiao, let's get married, okay? I'll give you a grand wedding, okay?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."
"Jiaojiao, it is my honor to see you again."
"Jiaojiao, there is a celebration banquet tonight. Would you like to join me?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you agree, okay..." Xu Xinghe said tirelessly. Song Jiaojiao didn't respond at all. Perhaps the long-term cold treatment made Xu Xinghe feel aggrieved. The usually gentle man shed tears silently at this moment.
Song Jiaojiao's expression was a little moved, but she quickly closed her eyes and regained her emotions. When she opened her eyes again, she was still the cold-hearted Song Jiaojiao.
……
Xu Xinghe quickly asked someone to dress up Song Jiaojiao.
During this trip, Xu Xinghe not only wiped out the demons hidden in the secret realm, but also uncovered two families that were conspiring with the demons, and eliminated those two families as a warning to others. Tonight's celebration banquet is to celebrate the elimination of the hidden scourge.
When Song Jiaojiao was led by Xu Xinghe to the banquet venue, the other three had already arrived. Except for Immortal Venerable Yue Cheng who had divorced Xu Xinghe, the remaining Immortal Venerable Li He and Immortal Venerable Fan Jing were rising stars.
Among them, Li He Xian Zun was instructed by Xing Jiao Xian Zun, and the two of them were like a master and apprentice. Fan Jing Xian Zun was good at martial arts, and he and Xing Jiao Xian Zun got to know each other through fighting. In terms of personality, Li He Xian Zun was lively and outgoing, while Fan Jing Xian Zun was calm and steady.
Song Jiaojiao's arrival attracted a lot of curiosity.
Some people even boldly asked about Song Jiaojiao's origins. In response, Xu Xinghe generously introduced Song Jiaojiao to everyone: "This is my wife, Song Jiaojiao."
After saying this, Xu Xinghe looked towards Song Jiaojiao with gentle and affectionate eyes.
Someone expressed confusion: "Xing Jiao Xian Zun's wife is Song Jiao Jiao, so what about Yue Cheng Xian Zun?"
Some people couldn't help but be curious: "Is it because of this woman that Xing Jiao Xian Zun and Yue Cheng Xian Zun divorced? So it was this woman who destroyed the relationship between Xing Jiao Xian Zun and Yue Cheng Xian Zun, haha... hmm."
The man who was speaking had been blown away, spitting blood and dying.
Those who could attend the banquet were the top figures and leaders of the immortal sect. At this moment, they sensed Xu Xinghe's anger, and they knelt on the ground one by one, their faces full of fear.
A trace of surprise flashed across Yue Cheng's eyes. She stood up and knelt down with everyone else. She looked at Xu Xinghe and said, "Xinghe, don't be angry. I don't think the clan master has any ill intentions. Besides, they don't know the relationship between you and Jiaojiao, so it's understandable for them to question you. What do you think, Jiaojiao?"
Yue Cheng looked at Song Jiaojiao who was standing beside her, and a light flashed in her eyes. But before she could hear Song Jiaojiao speak, she heard Xu Xinghe agree with her: "What you said makes sense. Since you all don't know the relationship between Jiaojiao and me, I might as well introduce her to you. This is my first wife, Song Jiaojiao. I was sorry for what happened between Yue Cheng and me. I will treat her wholeheartedly in the future."
The way he looked at her was tender and affectionate, as soft as spring water.
Song Jiaojiao turned her face away, avoiding Xu Xinghe's gaze.
At this time, Yue Cheng smiled and said, "Why don't you say anything? Do you still remember what happened? To be honest, Xinghe had no choice but to draw his sword against you. After all, your ghost energy and resentment have left no one alive near the snow mountain..."
Song Jiaojiao looked at Yue Cheng, her eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water. She said in a cold voice: "Sister Yue Cheng, you want to tell everyone at this banquet that I used to be a vengeful ghost, making the villagers near the snow mountain live in misery, right!"
Yue Cheng was slightly startled, and then said in disbelief: "Jiao Jiao, what did you say? How could you think of me like this..."
Tears glistened in her watery eyes, and her appearance of pretending to be strong despite being wronged made everyone present feel a little distressed.
A family head stepped forward and said, "Immortal Venerable Yue Cheng just didn't want there to be a rift between you and Immortal Venerable Xing Jiao. I didn't expect that you would misunderstand Immortal Venerable Yue Cheng like this..."
The one who got along well with the owner of the house echoed: "That's right."
